I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Aidan seemed to notice the look of surprise in her eyes. He said impassively, “Did no one teach you not

to waste food?” “I…” Nobody is wasting food here! I’ve wanted to pack the leftovers, thought Leanna.

She looked away without finishing her sentence. The lights on the street were splendid, and the night

was bright and beautiful. Those who came here were mostly people who were on close terms with one

another, like couples, friends, and families. Perhaps there wasn’t another pair like them, who were

forced to have dinner together despite being divorced. Just as she was slightly lost in thought, Aidan

had finished eating the snacks. “Let’s go.” “Oh, okay,” Leanna replied. Just as she was about to head

toward the exit, she noticed that Aidan was walking toward the livelier part of the street, which puzzled

her. Aidan walked a few steps before noticing that Leanna didn’t catch up to him. He looked back at her

and said expressionlessly, “There are a lot of people here, so I won’t hold you in my arms. Just forget

about the fanciful idea before it’s too late.”

Leanna gave a hollow laugh. Finding herself at a loss for words to ridicule him, she briskly walked past

him and went on ahead. Aidan walked side by side with her at an unhurried pace like before. Leanna

sneaked a few glances over her shoulder. Is this *sshole crazy? What the hell is he trying to do? Before

she could put her finger on it, her gaze was drawn to the fluffy toys sold at the stalls on the streets. She

picked a few toys that she liked, but just as she was about to pay for them using her phone, the seller’s

phone beeped with a message telling him that the payment had been made to his bank account.

Leanna turned her head in disbelief, only to see Aidan putting away his cell phone with a hint of

displeasure on his stony face. “Why are you looking at me?” he asked. Leanna was rendered

speechless. Not only am I looking at him, but I also want to crack his head open to see what’s gotten

into him today! Just then, his phone rang, and he turned around and went to a relatively quiet spot to

answer the phone. The seller was all smiles as he handed the bag containing the toys to Leanna. He

said, “Lady, that’s your husband, isn’t it? You two are very good-looking. What a well-matched couple.”

Just as Leanna was about to deny it, he continued, “By the way, are you and your husband here to put

love locks or to look at the lanterns?”

Leanna didn’t hear him well. “Pardon?”

“Our place is most famous for its love lock bridge. Many couples are here to put love locks on the

bridge. Let me tell you this: legend has it that as long as you and your husband inscribe your names on

a padlock, lock it to the bridge, and throw the keys away, your love will—”

Just as the seller was talking with much gusto, Aidan hung up the phone and came over.

Leanna quickly interrupted the seller with a forced laugh, saying, “I-I got it. Thank you for telling me

that, but we gotta go.” It’s lucky that Aidan didn’t hear what the seller said just now. Otherwise, he’d

mercilessly mock me again for indulging in wishful thinking, she thought. As a consequence, she nearly

ran away from the stall.

Aidan walked up to her before asking with a frown, “Why are you in such a hurry?”

“I-I feel sleepy all of a sudden. How about I go back first while you take your time hanging out?”

“You feel sleepy now that you’re full? Are you a pig or something?”

Leanna was rendered speechless.

Aidan warned coldly, “Stop playing tricks. I said that I won’t hold you in my arms.”

Leanna felt really tired. After falling silent for a few seconds, she was forced to embark again on a

journey that never seemed to end.

After walking a few minutes, she saw a river, on which many bright and splendid lanterns were floating.

These are probably the lanterns that the seller talked about, she thought. She walked on along the river

until she reached a long passageway.

If other places could be described as crowded, then the long passageway was totally overcrowded.

However, those squeezing in here were all young men and women. They were all holding a padlock

with names inscribed on it in their hands while looking for a nice spot to put the padlock on.

Upon seeing this, Leanna had a rough idea of why Aidan brought her here. Since the project to build

the resort hotel was under negotiation, Aidan had to survey this place to see whether the tourism

industry here could bring up the hotel’s occupancy level. I was too thoughtless. For a second, I

thought… She collected her thoughts and turned her head to see Aidan standing quietly by the river

while looking at one of the lanterns. She walked over to him, saying, “President Pearson…”

“Leanna.” Aidan cut her short in an impassive voice. “I’ll give you another chance.”

Leanna didn’t come to her senses for a moment. “Huh?”

Aidan turned to look at her. Then, as his thin lips parted slightly, he said, stressing each word, “Marry

me again.”

Leanna fell silent for a moment. Then, she replied, “President Pearson,

thank you so much for giving me the opportunity, but I don’t need it.”

Aidan let out a cold sneer before withdrawing his gaze. “Don’t answer me in a rush. Take your time to

think about it. There won’t be a second chance for this.”

Leanna fell silent. It seemed that this wasn’t her first time hearing him suggest that they get remarried.

Before she could speak, Aidan continued, “I don’t want someone to say that I left you to fend for

yourself, causing you to leave your hometown alone with nobody to depend on.”

Leanna’s lips twitched for a moment as she was rendered speechless. “This is a misunderstanding,

President Pearson. I’ll explain the matter to Ms. Shaffer.”

“I don’t need you to explain it,” Aidan replied. “Both you and I know who was the one that left

irresponsibly without saying goodbye, though.”

Knowing that she was in the wrong, Leanna forced a laugh without saying anything.

After a moment, Aidan added, “I’ll give you some time to think about it, so give me your answer before I

leave.”
